Took carbs apart and rebuilt them with all balls racing carb kit from fortnine. Bike purrs like a kitten now. I noticed the carbs were in fact opened before the bike was sold as I saw marks on some screws. The culprit for poor running was that the pilot jets were clogged on two carbs, I found...

I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, I will try to find one. About rest of the fluids, you read my mind. Replacing all fluids is on my to-do list. I did change out engine oil and filter few weeks back. Brake fluid and coolant are sitting on my shelf for winter maintenance.

Found a carb and petcock rebuild kits on fortnine. The petcock is super stiff, very hard to turn . I think I am going to rebuild both, hopefully that will address the issue.

Few months back , I acquired a 2002 Kawi zx6 ( also called zzr600 in some markets ) with only 5k km. It sat in a storage for around 15 years. The bike is super clean. Owner mentioned they had replaced all fuels and cleaned carbs, the bike ran fine for another 1k km. After that it started giving...

Nice day out with buddies to Creemore via Orangeville, Hockey valley, Borden. P.s. not selling the VFR, love this bike too much to ever let go :P Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk

Damn, what an ADVenture. Nice storytelling. Now I want to sell the VFR and get an adv bike.

I can't flat foot on vfr, but that's not a problem for me. I have 2002 Kawi zx6 too, which I can flat foot but interestingly I find that bike too cramped and uncomfortable on long rides.

I am 5'5" :P Oh it's meant for sport touring. We did 6 day 3500km Gaspe trip this year and another 2 day 1500km Quebec trip 3 weeks back.

You will be surprised how fun a V4 is, come check it out and take it for a spin if you would like.

Shameless plug, this is my bike and ad :).... Any questions feel free to ask.

A used BMW r nine t or a Honda cb1100 rs is on top of my "nostalgia" list.

Looks really good retro classic, fair bit expensive. Norton dealer support in Canada is non-existent I believe

I bought a pristine CPO 328 xDrive GT from Budds with 60k km with 3 year full warranty (paid extra 3k for that). It has 80k on it now,No issues so far, service cost surprisingly same as my Odyssey. But that's juts regular oil and filter change. I wouldn't buy a European car from private party.

Passed a motorcycle crash scene at the intersection of lower baseline and sixth line at Milton Oakville border. It was around 9:30 pm and car was badly smashed on left front fender. Motorcycle was lying on the side with lights on. This stretch of road is pretty famous with riders. Whoever it...

What are these mushroom plugs everyone is talking about, I haven't seen one. Can you please share a link? The kit we used to fix the flat was the bacon strip types.

Thanks folks, so this weekend's flat was my first on a motorcycle. It's actually good I got it (kinda) as me and buddies are going on a week long Gaspe trip end of July and it gave us a chance to practice fixing a flat while on a road. We went through all the suggestions and comments, and we...

Any recommendations on tire inflators? I got lucky this time as we were at the gas station , so we could pump up the tire after plugging it. I always carry CO2 cartridges on my bicycle when I go long ride as flats on those skinny tires are very common. Do they work on motorcycle tires?
